The Commedal having uiisinterpreted the fact as to Michigan, is without foundation for the fol lowïng paragraph, ck3Ín the samo article : At the present day thcre are comparativoIjr few wlio doubt the ri.slit of t lic peóple to cxerclso tliis power or the Justlce of lts e:iforccnient.

Ckrtain Radical journals are demandng of the State Board of Canyassars thal tbey hold all votos relurued for Judge Sutherland as illegally polled and void, reject them, and give the cortificato of cleotion to Johx F. Diugos. Thcy ground this demand on a claim that Judge Sutherland is ineligiblc under the State Constitulion, and they refuse to recognize the well-estublished principio tbat that document nor any State law can not íix and determine the qtialifiuatious of a moniber of Congrees or other United States officers, - say tho Pre-ident or Vice President. Now let us remiud these sticklers for "State Rightd" and State Constituiione - new converts, all - of an old ad:ige : "Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.'
